  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups of grated carrots.

  12. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with about ½ cup of frosting.
  13. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
  14. If using a 13x9 inch pan, spread frosting evenly over the top.
